Trey Yesavage Sets Franchise Strikeout Record On Monday
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitching prospect Trey Yesavage made an excellent first impression in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rays. Making his big-league debut, Yesavage pitched five innings, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts. His over-the-top delivery and splitter helped him set the franchise record for most strikeouts in an MLB debut. Yesavage is the team's top prospect and is the No. 25 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline. He put together strong numbers this season across four minor-league levels, compiling a 3.12 ERA, a 0.97 WHIP, and a ridiculous 41.1% strikeout rate in 98 IP. It remains to be seen how the Blue Jays will deploy Yesavage the rest of the way, but his next turn in the rotation would likely be a decent matchup at the Royals. Yesavage would be worth starting after his electric debut.
